Designed in 1967 by Joe Colombo for Kartell, the iconic KD27 table lamp perfectly captures the optimistic futurism of the space age era. Defined by its cylindrical ABS plastic base and softly rounded opaline diffuser, the lamp emits a warm ambient glow while functioning as a sculptural design object in its own right.
True to Colombo’s vision of modular living, the KD27 was designed to be stackable, allowing multiple lamps to interlock vertically in a playful manner, a feature that made the design feel remarkably futuristic for the late 1960s. The KD27 appears as an icon in the nostalgic visions of the home of the future.
